Fall of 1976 was an excellent period for the band and this week's show is a nod to the upcoming release of 'Dave's Picks' 4' as well as a great representation of this tour, as we travel to Indianapolis for a show that took place on October 1st, 1976. We will hear the first set this week, and while it does take a song or two for the band to really rev up, I think by the time Deal arrives we know we're in for a good show. My personal highlights include the Brown Eyed women and of course, the rare first-set Scarlet Begonias. This is a really interesting time for the group as they are moving from the slower more jazzy improvisational pieces and developing the tighter rhythmic structures that we know and love in 1977. I hope you enjoy this week's Deadpod..
